No SMPS projects for University and college students?

I can knock up a small SMPS if I want, but I'm not stupid enough to go out and start designing something big or novel without some prior experience.

Rather, you may think you can do it but then you start looking at app notes

and you realize you'll have to do so much more homework
< 500W standard topologies is a breeze these days

With most high power switching design, whether its an SMPS or other power electronics, the real work starts when the basic functionality is working, but the EMI/EMC tests are failing badly. That's something most fresh graduates don't really get to grips with in college, and start learning in industry.

My intent in reporting the spam posts was not for you to then resurrect a nearly 2-year-old thread by one of our most infamous time sinks. ;)

i'm really sorry for bumping this, but I am exactly that graduate that has some problems with this stuff. Could you tell some more about that? (would be highly appreciated). I have lots of problems at my university, and I am really bored of it. Recently I came across spam link removed and I think that it's a pretty nice solution for us, students. There I found different essays and useful stuff. However, I still have a lot of things to do.
